Scottish DNA Project
The project was originally established in October 2001 as the Scottish Clans DNA Project and merged with the Scotland DNA Project in 2012.
Goals:
-
Provide a database of Scottish yDNA and mtDNA test results useful for personal and academic research
- Encourage participants to join a surname, clan or family and relevant haplogroup project
-
Enable participants to identify their ancestral origins and make connections with their genetic kin
-
Explore interrelationships between clans and families
-
To provide education and information on genetic genealogy and Scottish family history research
Which Y-DNA test
should you order?
There are two levels of test for genealogical
research. We recommend you purchase the 37 marker Y-DNA test as the
minimum for surname research which may well identify distant relatives
within FTDNA's extensive database.
The 67 marker test provides extra
data and will help us in the analytic work. This test may give you an
indication of your "deep ancestry" by matching with other participants
who have been found positive for advanced "deep ancestry" markers called
SNPs. These advanced markers can be ordered at a later date if
required.
We advise all participants to join an appropriate surname,
clan, family or haplogroup project as the best way to find genetic
matches. The Scottish DNA Project aims to support and promote the best
possible participation of these projects.
